Fallen

Luce wakes up at Sword & Cross, a rehabilitation facility that treats its residents like patients in a cult, with no memory of the crime that landed her there. As she tries to piece together what happened, she encounters Daniel, a quietly magnetic fellow patient, and Cam, whose charm is infuriating but hard to resist. The institution is run by the unnerving Dr. Howson and populated by devout twins Miriam and Sophia, among others. Over time Luce starts to pull threads of her past into the present, sensing a bond with Daniel that predates the facility, and she has to sort truth from manipulation while the truth about her identity remains out of reach.

Fallen premiered in 2024, created by Lauren Kate and Claudia Bluemhuber, and is adapted from Lauren Kate's novel. The series stars Jessica Alexander as Luce, Gijs Blom as Daniel, Timothy Innes as Cam, Alexander Siddig as Dr. Howson, and Josefine Koenig as Arriane.
